What to expect and how to prepare before fitting day

Preparing properly ensures installation runs smoothly and efficiently.

Clear the room as much as possible

Removing furniture and personal items allows installers to work safely and efficiently.

Ensure access and preparation

Ensuring clear access helps the installation team complete the work with minimal disruption, particularly in busy households.

What happens during installation

Professional installers will prepare the subfloor and fit the flooring carefully to ensure the best finish.

After installation

Most flooring can be used shortly after fitting. Following aftercare advice helps ensure long-term performance.

Many installations in Bromley homes are completed within a few days, depending on the size and scope of the project.
